Eat Your Art: An Alternative Cinco de Mayo
411 Troutman Avenue at Lot 45
Time: 6pm
Price: $35 – $125
Artist Frida Kahlo was famous for her dinner parties where she combined a diverse group of artists, musicians, writers, and other creatives in her home for a salon that would inevitably turn into a raucous, and sometimes debaucherous melee. In the spirit of her infamous gatherings, Eat Your Art presents a fiesta full of everything delectable…including the people. The night begins with a four course dinner paired with pieces of poetry, performance art, and music that celebrates the art and culture of Mexico.
